Forest and Nature School in the East End of Ottawa

At Wild Fauna Nature Play, our philosophy is rooted in learning through play and exploration, guided by the children's own curiosity. By focusing on what they are drawn to, we empower them to feel a sense of ownership and control over their lives.

Through our activities, children learn about themselves—their emotions, their bodies, and the important messages these convey.

We incorporate journaling and moments of quiet reflection, encouraging children to take a breath, check in with themselves, and understand their boundaries.

Our mission is to create a nurturing space for the next generation to explore the world with confidence—a place free of judgment, where questions are welcomed, mistakes are seen as opportunities, and self-advocacy is celebrated.
